Rain falls like God’s own poetry, each drop like a letter in a song that’s singing the tale of love. And with it ca the earthy fragrance. Natural. Soothing. Calming. The lody and the fragrance bring serenity as the two love birds untangled the chaos of their life. Blessed by the God. Witnessed by the heavens.
"Why, Suyin?" Wang Shi held his breath as he lifted his eyes to et hers. Beautiful. Deep. Yet so unsure. "Why do you want ? What exactly changed?"
"I changed," Suyin said. "I thought I was doing right by staying away from you until I ca to know mom isn’t with dad because of . She knew already what Qi Wren did to , and still holds dad responsible for getting married to that monster. Or maybe she thinks it would be unfair to if she gets back with dad. Just whatever it is-- her reasons are all related to ."
"Just like yours is related to Honey?"
"Yes. And I realized how baseless they are. She loves dad, yet she’s stopping herself just like ."
"So you love ?"
"Argh," She tucked her hair in anger. "You dumb man, why do you think I agreed to therapy? Why did I push myself with heavy dicines when the treatnt was already a bottleneck? Why do you think I lost control in the waterfall cave? Why I ca to your office in the middle of the night? Why do my eyes shine when I see you? Why, dammit?"
Wang Shi licked his lips. "I don’t know."
She moved like a bolt of light. Slipped her hand around his neck, curling her fingers in his hair. Rose to her foot and kissed.
A wild kiss that drew blood. A punishnt. Anger.
She pulled back for breath, panting, eyes narrowing at him. "Because I love you. You occupy my mind every day. Every second. In your absence I have counted down days to get a chance to see you again. I love you, Dr. Wang Huang Shishi. I love you."
A tear slides down from his eyes, and she tip-toed to kiss it away. Then moving to brush his bleeding lips with hers. "That night you asked about your place in my life. But you had already answered it by saying that you see love in my eyes. That was the truth you saw! Silly, Honey was already with , so what do you think I was crying for? The only thing that was hurting was the thought of not getting you in my life."
"What about people?"
"We’ll face them together. I don’t want to be a coward."
"Future uncertainties?"
"Haven’t you said to trust our upbringing?"
"Think again, Suyin. I don’t want to hear nonsense from you again."
Suyin shrugged. "Zhao Suyin doesn’t want to use her brain anymore in matters related to the heart. A mistake once done shouldn’t be repeated."
He smiled. Finally, he smiled. "You have troubled a lot."
"I can say the sa. Do you have any idea what my situation was when you left alone?"
"I do. Dr. Jeff kept updated." Suddenly, his voice grew timid. Apprehensive. "I have a confession to make."
"What?"
"The next day when I woke up Dr. Jeff ca to to explain your case." the weight of Wang Shi’s words grew in the room, making her feel as if walls were moving, shrinking the room.
"Is there sothing wrong with ? I know I’m weird. Am I nuts? Insane? Mad?"
"No. No." He held her in his embrace tight when her eyes watered. "He was there to tell sothing about you-- sothing that he had found during the treatnt and it was important for to know."
"Go on. I’m listening."
"I need you to understand that the seeds of your fears and uncertainties originated inside you in your early childhood, with abuse at the hands of your cousin, aunt, gender-biased mistreatnt, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of your ex, and then the loss of your son. Even your ntor, Master Gong, never gave you the correct treatnt but manipulated your fragile mind for his own motive. All this build up over the years and eventually exploded at the wrong person. ."
Suyin gasped. "Why you?"
"I asked the sa." Wang Shi rubbed her arm to ease her shivering. "The person you get most angry with is also the one whom you love the most. According to Jeff’s analysis, I have a huge impact on the mind of the fragile Suyin when she was only a weak girl. Rember, I’m your decade-old crush? That’s why you overthink when it cos to ."
Realization struck, and she exhaled. "Yes, that’s true. I have experienced nothing like this with soone else other than you. My decisions are always swift, confident, but with you, I’m stuck on an edge. Undecided. Scared. Until--"
"Until soone guides you or pushes you to have faith and take a step ahead." That’s where her family and Jas ca to help her. "It was never my plan to leave you alone in El Sandrios. No matter the circumstances, Wang Shi would never leave his Suyin alone. I did it on Dr. Jeff’s instructions. He thinks I’m the needed push in your treatnt to make you move past the bottleneck. He was sure you’d accept your feelings."
Suyin covered her mouth. "So you were aware of the plan?"
"Yeah." though he was against hurting her, he had to do it knowing exactly what suppressed emotions do to the patients. Not to forget she had tried to commit suicide once.
"I’m glad you did that." He just made her open the door that she was forcing herself to not look at." I would have died--" he silenced her with a hand on her lips.
The next mont, she saw him taking a step back, and held out his hand to her, his palm open.
"So my dear Suyin, will you be Shishi’s? Forever and ever. Lifeti deal. No exchange. No return. Mandatory love required."
She smiled. Lifted her hand to et his and his fingers curled. He brought her hand to his mouth, and kissed her knuckles, and pulled her into his embrace in one swift motion.
She lifted on her toes, his lips just an inch away.....
"So?"
"So?"
"S-SO?"
BANG BANG BANG
Suyin and Wang Shi’s heads snapped at the door simultaneously, bumping into each other.
"Oww..."
"Ahhh..."
"SHE’S WAITING FOR A KISS, MR. SLOW!" Honey’s voice ca from the other side of the door. "IF YOU DIDN’T DO IT, I WILL. LET KISS MY DUCKY! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"
BANG BANG BANG
"This monkey! He is peeking from the keyhole!" Wang Shi growled and she couldn’t contain her laughter. Ah, these two! "Get lost, bratty. She’s min--"
Before he could complete, she pressed her mouth to his. His taste poured into her like a drug, and she drank it like a desperate addict got a new life. Soul eting soul on the lover’s lips.
She heard the celebrations from the other side of the door and grinned....
But he pinched her waist, demanding her attention in the tender mont that doesn’t want to wait anymore. There was sothing heavenly about this kiss, a thirst of months....
His hands found her hips, and she jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around him. Don’t know when she found herself being lowered on the couch on his lap, and he continued kissing her, going past the boundaries of her lips to tease her naughty tongue.
Suyin hugged him with all her might to feel his body against her. It was the feeling of being back into his arms and it was so beautiful at that mont that tears rolled down her eyes.
"I love you, hottie bum."
"I love you too, my sweetheart."
It was the burst of love that reached its destiny after crossing hurdles and marked their destiny forever. It was the connection of hearts that shows the strength of the two souls destined to et.
That’s why it’s called Mark of the destiny.
